I had brief thought on Monday as I am rushing around cleaning house and doing (much dreaded) laundry that I was pretty sick the day before and I really should have been resting. 😒 But as is often the case I go through spells of feeling superhuman (yes like Superwoman💥) And I ignore my body completely. Thought re-occurred yesterday while jumping around like a mad woman and swearing at p
Decided to take myself home early so I could put myself to bed and recover. But alas then spent the whole afternoon running around doing those odd jobs I never have time to get to.
Eventually got to bed after 11 after spending the evening doing my finances, woke up this morning feeling like death at 5.30 and had to call in sick. Felt terrible…don’t like letting my kiddies down😢. Got woken up at 8 by parent messaging to ask something about her kid’s lesson today. I informed her I was sick and she then sent a very sweet message telling me to turn my phone off and get some rest. She made a good point… I spent way too much writing on Sunday when I should have been ‘resting’..despite the fact that I had a headache from hell. But between you and me, it’s really hard… I think I am mildly addicted now.🙈😨 So I take both phones and put them in the kitchen cupboard.📴📵 I can do this❗❓ Manage to find some med lemons that I had taken from my mum’s medicine cabinet. “Thanks, mummy👍😁”
Lie in bed not really feeling sleepy and feeling pretty damn lost without my phone(s). Am acutely aware that I am not a big fan of doing “nothing” – am well aware that this constant need to keep my mind busy is a bit of a problem. (Please note: Monks do not have this problem) Suddenly realise I got that from my mother – the woman was a tornado at times, juggling 101 things. I was constantly telling her to slow down in that last year.🙋🙋🙋Mmmm or is it just a woman thing? 😨 So give myself a mental talking too: “You are sick Gayle because your body needs time to chill. 🤒So just chillax dammit.. ”
I can do this… I can rest. 😴
About 5 minutes into my sleep the drilling started in the flat above me. (Clearly, they never got my ‘rest’ memo. 🤔) Luckily they didn’t drill the whole day….they stopped periodically to hammer! 🔨🔨🔨. I feel so rested and refreshed it isn’t even funny. 😬 I didn’t manage to sleep at all…but on the bright side, I did stay in bed the whole day and at least I wasn’t coughing or sneezing on any children. So I think my goal has been semi been achieved? 🙏
This might be my most informative post ever😎
Mmmmn….let me see what did I learn today?
…..that I never, ever want to retire in a flat (someone is always doing renovations )
….that I have a serious crush on Greg Kinnear. Isn’t he gorgeous? (If he ever gets divorced please could someone let me know 👍)
….Oh and that I way prefer children noise to hammer noise.
Now I must go and rest (sigh)
Much l❤ve
